George Bush and History

George W. Bush constantly claims that history will be the judge of his term in office. Don't be fooled, he's taunting all of us. We know that every administration has secret scandals that come to the surface well after the fact. Think about all of the corruption that is out in the open and Bush is still in office.

We know about the outing of an active CIA agent, a political hit-job against a critic of the war. We know about all of the signing statements, which Bush's uses to override the Congress and legislate from the Oval Office. We know about the administrations commitment to torture and the lengths it went to cover it up. We know that our government has been spying on us. Worst of all, we know that the administration misled us into the war in Iraq.

War is big business, especially for the friends of the Bush administration. No-bid contracts and private military forces have been a staple of the war in Iraq. The price of oil has jumped to an astounding degree. None of this is a coincidence.

How much more is there? That's where George Bush's taunts come in. He knows everything he's done. And he knows that we don't. When the pages of history are written, we won't believe everything he's gotten away with. Shame on us for not uncovering more. Shame on us for not stopping him.
